New Catholic Picture Bible

The Greatest Story Ever Told in pictures with short summaries of Bible stories. Beautifully illustrated for young children to discuss and talk about each story. A picture says a thousand words and this Bible is sure to be a great success!

Wonderful children's bible. Language is simple and easily understandable. It has large easy-to-read type and beautiful artwork.Title provides very brief summaries and valuable context for 117 important stories from the Bible, 43 stories from the Old Testament and 74 stories from the New Testament.It also has the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur.

As being a catholic i tried to find the right bible story book for my kids to read. I love how vivid the pictures are and how it is right on with the stories of the bible. Great to read for kids even adults if they want to start learning about the bible.

I like that it has short readable, enjoyable Bible stories that present the story in a way a child can be introduced and enjoy. The pictures are nice. I’ve bought several children’s Bibles and this is by far my favorite based on the way it is written—respectful to the Word, and focused on the Redeemer.

Gave to grandson and his father called that one night he found the grandson reading the book under the covers using a flashlight after lights-out time. Okay, what do you say when a kid likes a bible so much that he cannot sleep without reading the bible more? Our kids liked the one we got years ago and this book has maintained its ability to enthrall kids.

This book is really well made. The binding is sewn and not glued. You don't find that very often in a children's book; especially one at this price.On a different note... the illustrations are just beautiful and the text gets the message across in a totally child appropriate way. I saw it at my daughters house and loved it so much I ordered one for my house. I'm very pleased with this book.

I bought one of these for my nephew and one for my daughter. It's not a little kids (<4) version, but instead a child's (maybe 6+) version with beautiful pictures and just the right amount of text. There's also an Old Testament and a New Testament map on the inside front and back covers respectively. My daughter loves to look things up on the map as she hears various stories at church etc. Great purchase! This would be a great First Holy Communion gift!

Same, exact book that I had as a child.So glad this is still in print. Plan to pass on to my grandchildren after reading with them. Love the short stories and beautiful pictures. Best children's bible ever.

It’s a great book for children to read,,pictures are great aswell..really good purchase..good size writing..

Great book. Really happy, nice hard cover with beautiful pictures. Separates the old testament with the New Testament. Stories are short and easy to follow for children. Has a few picture at the back of the book like the sacred staircase.

I’m really impressed with the whole way this children’s bible is presented. It’s a lovely bright book with thick, glossy white paper and beautiful artwork on every page and the durable sewn binding means it should last many years. It lacks a ribbon marker though, which is a real shame, but I forgive that oversight because it remains true to the original book from the 1950’s and Revd. Lovasik’s unique style of writing. Containing all the stories you need to know from the Bible in order to understand the Christian Faith, it’s desirable for this reason alone. However, it’s special uniqueness lies in the fact that every story, from the Old Testament right through to the end of the New Testament, unravels an invisible thread that points to Jesus Christ; wherein history gradually unfolds to reveal God’s ancient plan of Salvation in His Son. It’s so much easier to understand and remember when the whole Bible is presented in this way.Although it is from the view point of the Catholic Church, as a Protestant I didn’t find this uncomfortable at all. Christians from all denominations would benefit from this lovely summary of the important stories that are foundational to our Faith.Especially beneficial to older children from the age of 7 upwards and informative enough for adults to enjoy as well. I really like reading it! Now to mention the concern of one reviewer - there’s only a very small section at the beginning of how Lucifer and his angels rebelled and fell, leading to Satan’s temptation of Eve. Personally I think that’s important for kids to understand, as Lucifer as “The Devil” then pops up as tempter to our Bible heroes, throughout various stories after that. It’s done in a subtle way though and does not dwell on evil or anything too frightening.I’m particularly impressed with the extras too, such as the brightly coloured map spreads inside both the front and back cover, along with the beautiful presentation page. We also have coloured photos and information on the Holy Land with suggested further reading at the back. The bright padded hard cover feels nice and tactile and the whole book is colourful and engaging. Well worth the reasonable price tag.

Exact same bible that was bought for me almost 25 years ago. I recommend this book for children aged 7+. Some of the stories are a little frightening... but ain't that what the bible is all about?

This is a wonderful book to start off children in learning about the Bible.
